I have never heard of shipping damage causing a fretboard to separate from the top, and can't imagine how that could happen due to mishandling in shipping. My suggestion is that you try to return the guitar for a refund. It is the shipper who is the insured party, and who has to submit a claim. If this really was shipping damage, let the seller deal with the insurance.
Got photo?
